Jesic added the group were excited at the prospect of travelling interstate and he’s confident the club’s professional approach and new faces will give them an edge.

“It’s a whole new team this year at Marconi. It’s been built from scratch. Big turnover but people may know Sean Rooney, Pavlovic and myself.

“Then there’s Peter Markovic and Manny Giannaros and captain Chris Nunes, who’s been at the club for a while.

“That’s the core but there are some young guys coming through. We play more of a possession-based football and make other teams run.”

The club trains three times a week at their western Sydney base and have already racked up almost 25 games this season.

So, in terms of being match ready, there'll be no problems for this NPL 2 side.

Jesic added: “For the league we’re in we’re a huge club. The way they treat their players, in some ways it’s more professional than certain A-League clubs, based on my experiences.

“I was pleasantly surprised but it’s what you expect from Marconi. We have ice baths for recovery which you wouldn't expect it from a semi professional team and the facilities, some A-League clubs would love to have."

A dream home game against Western Sydney Wanderers in the FFA Cup would be a fabulous occasion, said Jesic.

But for now, the task of travelling to Hume looms for the Marconi boys as their Cup journey takes an exciting turn.
